LPT: Treat your day like quarters, not a full game Instead of feeling like your entire day is ruined after a small setback, break the day into quarters: morning, midday, afternoon, and evening. If one quarter doesn’t go as planned, reset and make the next one better. This mindset can help avoid feeling overwhelmed and encourages you to keep moving forward. For example, if you make an unhealthy m…

LPT: Remind yourself that rest is still valuable, even if you can’t sleep If you find yourself struggling to fall asleep, try shifting your mindset. Remind yourself that even if you don’t fall asleep right away, you’re still resting. This can ease the anxiety of not being able to sleep and help you relax. Close your eyes, take a few deep breaths, and focus on calming your body. Often, the more relaxed you are, the eas…

LPT: How Limiting Screen Time Transformed My Productivity (Personal Experience) I used to think that working from home with flexible hours was all about maximizing screen time to stay on top of everything. But I eventually hit a wall—I was constantly staring at my devices, and my focus and energy were taking a serious hit. I remember one particularly draining week when I realized that I was so glued to my screens that I bar…

LPT: Certain foods can trigger severe acne, even bananas. Thought I would pass along a kernel of knowledge gained through much suffering in hopes that it may help someone struggling with cystic acne. For years as a teenager and into my 20s, I would get deep cystic pimples in my upper cheeks under my eyes. I had tried everything short of Accutane including various creams, vitamins like Pantothenic Acid,…

LPT: keep snacks in your car for those in need 🙂 I personally love to keep a box of Costco granola bars in my car. Has about 60 of them I think and costs me $10. Anytime I see someone with a sign around town, I grab 2 or 3 to give to them. Yes, there are caveats. You should only do this if you can afford to! And no, it’s not the healthiest snack but it’s what I can can afford and is helping ke…

Spinner Luggage with Replaceable Wheels? I’m looking for spinner luggage recommendations. I find the wheels on my luggage are always what’s first to go. Spinners are great, but the wheels often aren’t replaceable. Either they were never meant to be replaced, the manufacturer switches to a new design and phases out replacement parts for the old design, or the parts aren’t a standard lik…

9 hour layover in sharjah airport Hi, I am flying to malaysia via Air Arabia and i have a 9 hour layover at sharjah airport from 6 am to 3 pm. I was wondering if it is possible to see a little bit of dubai during this timeframe.

Officer boarding plane with small device after landing in China? I recently flew from London to Chengdu in China, after we landed we were sat for about 20 mins. There was an announcement in mandarin and then an officer boarded the plane with a small beeping handheld device I heard the mother behind me telling her daughter they were “checking that we weren’t sick” Just wondering what this actually was, purely …
